I'm planning to buy a sniper rifle, just to watch and touch, not going to fight. So I don't mind about FPS. I've found some sexy sniper rifles, one of them is Marui APS 96. That is expensive, but it's just hot!! But then, I found a Type 96 Sniper Rifle in a website, and it says it is by TSD. I haven't heard of this manufacturer before (maybe I am too "newbie" in airsoft). Has anyone heard of this TSD?? And how about the performance / durability of this rifle??

1) Tokyo Marui does not make the APS Type 96, Maruzen does.2) Could you give us a link to the "TSD" Type 96, I have never heard of it.3) If you're going to shoot rats and stuff, why not just buy a pellet gun? A stock airsoft sniper rifle will not have enough power to kill small game.

I'd also like to see a link to it, I too have never heard of it before. I don't even know what a real Type 96 looks like.

It says "the real firearm version" can shoot 600 yards with high accuracy... but who cares!! I just want a toy; why saying the real thing!! The intro of this toy totally out of topic... And that's why I am posting here to ask what da heck is this TSD. And it seems that no one likes this "TSD"... hm...

There is no way that gun shoots 450fps stock...for $100 there must be a catch. That's a mockery to the TYPE 96

Just curious... if this gun can shoot at 450 fps, how hard will I need to pull the spring??

I take it neither you nor eletric have heard of the Warrior 1? After the spring settles, it shoots about 450-490 fps. It's not the most durable of guns (the trigger housing might crack if you over tighten the screws). Reviews say that it is fairly accurate though. A couple of guy's on arnies have put a couple thousand shots through theirs. There have been confirmed reports of people using aftermarket made for the Maruzen for parts on their Warrior. I wish I could confirm it but sadly, most of my money is going into my Gibson acoustic. Maybe someday in the not to far future I might do it, just to do it and see if the reports are true, for you guys lol. instead of passing on what I read on another website.

I've heard of Warrior 1, but I don't know how does it look. Do you have a link of it?? Thx!!!

I got mine yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it. This is what it all comes with.StrapScopeScope coversBB'sBB speed loader with attachment2 magazines.Plastic cleaning rod(use it to whack your sister first to see if its strong enough to insert in the barrel without breaking)

As far as the power goes I'm not entirely shure. Its more powerful than my WaShan sawed off shotgun and my we-tech pistols. When you pull the trigger you cant even see the BB, and it rips through both sides of a cardboard box. So it's powerful enough to have fun with. And the stock is a much better finish than the maruzen. On a differrent note, If I had the money, the only other non-AEG sniper I would buy would be the tanaka M700 A.I.C.S. . The orange tip is easily removable as well.
